3Adequate, but disappointing  Jun 01, 2007 By Eugene Barnes
I originally purchased QuickBooks Pro for Mac (version 4) back in the '90s because I was impressed with the ease and intuitiveness of Quicken and wanted something just as easy (within reason) for my business. After using QB for a year or two, I was very disappointed to hear Intuit had discontinued the QB for Mac product.

Fast forward a few years. After a temporary slump, the Mac is back on top with new and innovative products. I'm in love with my new PowerMac that significantly boosts my productivity. And I'm still stuck with an aging QuickBooks.

Like other "fair weather friends" who abandoned Mac and then returned when it was hot again, Intuit decided to release an all-new QuickBooks for Mac Version 5. This one would run under the new Mac OS X! And... that's about it. While Windows users benefited from several years of upgrades and new features, the "new" Mac version did not.

One of the advantages of using QuickBooks is the ability to bundle up your files and send them to your accountant for review. But not if you were on a Mac. Nope. Unless your accountant also had the Mac version, you were out of luck.

Intuit expected us to be all excited over running QB under OS X and more than willing to pay full price for the privilege. That's right... no upgrade pricing. I couldn't see shelling out a couple hundred bucks for the same tired software with some lipstick slapped on it.

So I stuck it out with QB4 running under Classic OS9 while Intuit released new versions each year. Each one having only a subset of the Windows version features. Each one requiring you to pay full price to upgrade.

I finally broke down and purchased QuickBooks for Mac 2007 for these reasons:

* I decided it was time to upgrade the rest of my
apps to native OS X and stop using Classic.

* QB for Mac 2007 finally added the ability to
fully customize forms.

* QB for Mac 2007 finally had a usable ability
to bundle up and share records with an accountant
using the Windows version.

* My only other alternative was switching to a
competitive application that was more expensive
and more difficult to use.

As much as I wanted to switch to another vendor, I relented and stayed with QuickBooks. And it works OK. The "Layout Designer" is awkward, but at least I can now make my invoices, etc. look as professional as the rest of my business.

But when I decide to expand my business beyond myself, I'll have the problem of how to share QuickBooks with others... it still doesn't allow multiple user access, while the Windows version has for years.

And get this... QB for Mac 2007 still does not have a timer feature so you can accurately time hourly work and add it to your records. I have to time my labor externally and manually add it into QB. The Windows version... you guessed it. Intuit claims there is no demand among Mac users for this feature. Considering how many creative professionals use Macintosh and charge by the hour, I find that hard to believe.

As long as Intuit treats the Mac community like a bad smell from behind a couch, I will be on the lookout for a better product to replace QB. For now... it will do.

3Download the trial version and decide for yourself  Nov 06, 2006 By Pablo "Pablo"
You'll have to search for the free download on the Intuit/Quickbooks web site, it's not obvious, but you can download a 30-day trial of QB Pro 7 for Mac and see if it will work better for you or not. There are about 5 steps to actually obtaining a download (log in at Intuit, request a download, wait for an email, click on a link, then seek out the actual download page you want, then download) but at least you don't have to shell out $160. first. (Note that Amazon had the best price for the new version, NOT Intuit, which of course does not offer a reduced upgrade price for prior users, whom they apparently could care less about). I jumped through the hoops and have been using the new version (trial) for about a week in my small business. Although the forms designer is idiotic in some ways, it does, after about 2 hours of fooling with it, allow you to generate forms and other documents that look much more graphically pleasing than Ver. 5 (my previous version, I skipped the previous upgrade). The forms can now include color graphics and photographs (tip: it seemed to me that importing a BMP file looked better than JPEG or TIF. No idea why). As a graphic design-related business, I thought this was worth the purchase price alone, although I stress the "engineers" at Intuit should ask someone from the graphics department for some input.
If they'd actually included some additional "upgrade" beyond the forms designer, I'd have gone to 4 stars, but there isn't much else that is new in this release.
I will say that the upgrade process went smoothly, no hitches. There is a "backup to Windows" option which also seems easier to use than in Ver. 5. It generated a file of over 100 mb. however, so I guess the days of emailing it to my accountant are over. Haven't tested to see if he can open this file on Windows as yet.

2Nobody gets more blood per stone than Intuit  Oct 31, 2006 By orangekay
I upgraded to this from QB 2006 for one and only reason: the form layout designer. That's a good thing, too, because that's about the only thing they added to this version aside from recompiling for Intel. I could tell from the screenshots that the layout app was kludgy and awful and rushed to market by a bunch of outsourced engineers who have little to no experience in Mac GUI design, but it was still better than the old method of simply typing in column widths numerically and guessing at how the application was going to interpret them. Is it $170 worth of better? Probably not. It's still pretty limiting with what you can do in terms of formatting (tracking or kerning controls would certainly have been nice since there's no way to tell it NOT to draw the label for each field, thusly making it impossible to pick up the slack with an Illustrator or InDesign built PDF background), and it seems to have a fair degree of difficulty in determining the appropriate baseline for OpenType fonts. You also have zero control over how form rows print, just columns. Definitely a step up, but it has so many annoying little quirks that it ends up being nearly as frustrating as the old method was anyway.

Intuit has also seen fit to drop the once formidable printed manual from this release. Instead of a hefty tome full of in-depth knowledge, we now get a 100 page booklet which dedicates over half its space to installation and setup related tasks. Think they made up for it with a PDF version? Think again. The PDF is identical to the printed guide. Apparently Intuit wants you to use their Help content instead of a manual, which I might not mind so much ordinarily, but the Help files are pretty sparse, and searching for "Layout" in an attempt to figure out how I was supposed to re-order columns on my invoices using the new layout designer actually turned up NO results. Nice job.

Since MYOB is pretty much unusable, Intuit knows they have a guaranteed cash flow with every new release regardless of whether or not they put any effort whatsoever into it. This one is no exception. If you don't need to customize your forms, don't bother paying for 2007. It still doesn't have mileage tracking, credit card processing or any of the other myriad features the Windows version has had for years.

UPDATE: When generating an income tax report for 2006 (detail or summary makes no difference) QB 2007 thinks that EVERY SINGLE TRANSACTION I HAVE EVER ENTERED PRIOR TO 2006 took place on 03/07/06. These transactions are still recorded correctly in the individual account reports, but the figures it's telling me to enter into my return are obviously way, way, WAY off. This means I have to get out my calculator and go through everything manually--precisely the thing that I purchased accounting software to avoid. Good job, Himanshu.

1Probably their worst release  Dec 18, 2006 By T. Emmerson "TE"
This is just a throw away for Mac users. Intuit has a long, long, long way to go to make this software functional. 2006 users, my advice: do NOT upgrade - once you do, you cannot go backwards with your data. Their Windows version is much much better, but I do not use windows. To make my point: They have serious problems with Estimates (showing clients your cost instead of your price), the Find dialog is totally unfunctional (has trouble finding clients and the dialog must be scrolled to enter information), printing Estimates and Invoices do not center on the page and they get cut off (even when you use the align feature), Estimates put 0.00 on every line not used for cost, problems with contacts and email addresses - I can go on and on and on.
AND, their phone customer support is ABSOLUTELY HORRIBLE . . . did I mention HORRIBLE - they have no clue what is going on, while their web site says that these are KNOWN issues AND they do not get back to you when they say they will. This is the most disappointing version of this product ever and I have no idea how they are going to fix it . . . but I am now stuck in it because I can not back save my data.
Download the trial before you spend your hard earned money and decide for yourself . . . I wish I had!

2A great program for the business owner that plans on never getting a new computer.  Jun 27, 2007 By Kate Stokes
This is a great program, but it has one EXTREMELY annoying issue that has resulted in my decision never to buy this product again. The issue is that if you get a new hard drive, a new computer, or reformat your hard drive, the program will be virtually unusable and unlockable until you go through a very complicated process that thus far has required me to call tech support (located in India) every single time because it is so complicated that it is impossible to remember. They put into place the most rigorous anti-piracy code I have ever seen in a piece of software. So rigorous that even the legal owner is locked out without a key. If you are a small business owner like me, you update your hard drive (either due to a crash or a new larger upgrade needed for additional storage) or you upgrade your system altogether on a fairly regular basis. How many business people never need to upgrade their hard drive or get a new computer? Well, buyers beware: if you have this program, you will be getting yourself into a nightmare if you decide to upgrade your hard drive or change systems. Out of the over $5,000 worth of software I own, this is the only program that causes me this headache. Time is money to a small business owner, and I just don't have 3 hours to spend on fixing this program every time I upgrade my system just because someone at this company has a bug up their rear end about software piracy. merely uninstalling and reinstalling this program is not sufficient. You have to go into about 5 different obscure folders on your computer and either change or delete esoteric bits of data that you can never find without the help of Indian tech support. Oh--and by the way: you only get a little while of free support. Every time after that it costs you money. next time I go to buy small business accounting software I will buy another program or I will go back to handwritten recordkeeping if there are no other decent programs available for Mac.
